This is Kazuma Okamoto's alma mater. In high school, he was active as the fourth batter from his freshman year, recording a total of 73 home runs in his high school career. He also participated in the Koshien tournament, making his talent known nationwide. The three years of rigorous training greatly developed Okamoto's mental strength and skills, making his dream of becoming a professional baseball player a reality.

This is the stadium where the Yomiuri Giants’ farm team (the Eastern League) mainly plays its games.

It is also used as a practice facility, where the Giants’ young players train on a daily basis.

When Kazuma Okamoto is assigned to the farm team for adjustment, he also plays practice games at this stadium.

When I watched him there, I was able to see Okamoto hit a long extra-base RBI.
